San Antonio ICE Ramming Suspect Identified as Robyn Argote Brooks, Faces Federal Charge

DHS says the Cuban national is in ICE custody, citing a sharp rise in vehicular attacks on its officers.

Overview

  • Video first aired by Fox News shows a driver in a Walmart parking lot on Blanco Road striking two unmarked ICE vehicles as agents surround the car, and officials say one agent was hospitalized.
  • Records obtained by KSAT say Robyn Argote Brooks, 25, is charged federally with destruction of government property; DHS says he entered via CBP One in 2024 and that his parole was later terminated, with HSI leading the case and DPS assisting with vehicle towing.
  • ICE and DHS officials report 66 vehicular attacks on officers from Jan. 21, 2025 to Jan. 7, 2026, compared with two in the same prior-year period, and they link the rise to hostile rhetoric toward enforcement.
  • San Antonio city leaders set a Jan. 22 special session to review how local police interact with state and federal immigration authorities following heightened ICE activity and public concern.
  • In a separate North Texas case, the DOJ unsealed an indictment charging Jerson Lopez-Sanchez with assaulting federal agents in a Dec. 1 Lewisville incident; he remains at large and a reward has been offered.
